Research interests
Electrochemical cells (e.g., fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries) are made of complex components, characterizing which from a specific scale fails to convey comprehensive or even correct insights. Moreover, with continuous mass & energy exchange with the external environment, electrochemical cells respond dynamically. <em>Ex-situ</em> characterizations cannot reflect the dynamic energy process well. Through <em>in-situ</em> experimental setups, we are targeting to operando probe electrochemical cells across multiple scales, reveal the dynamic composition-structure-performance relationship for energy cells, and clarify the mechanisms of their energy conversion & storage processes. Further by integrating finite element analysis and quantum mechanics calculations, we are improving the understanding of those energy cells. Meanwhile, by precisely regulating the real-time behavior of energy materials, we are developing high-performance and cost-effective energy devices. Some specific research interest includes the following and beyond:
- <em>Operando</em> monitoring and <em>in-situ</em> modulation of electrochemical energy process;
- Developing sustainable energy devices (Fuel cells, Electrolyzers, Vehicle batteries);
- CO<span>2</span> splitting and reduction technology;
- Environmental and Economic analysis & optimization of energy systems;
- Thermal management of electronic devices;
- Finite element analysis and first-principle calculation.
